I expected a firework of flying words (no, not any hexes) by Hermione and Harry, but she's taking the news rather well. And Harry also, though that could just be for the time being.Astonishing. Although she's known to be the thoughtful one. But in such a situation, with all the hormonal changes in her? I can't quite follow that.

It is so good and so exciting. I can't wait to read the next and also hope for a happy ending for the three of them in the end.

Goody! They fight so well. And make up so well also. Thanks for the update.

Yummy! I imagine Harry is very confused. I can just see Severus rolling his eyes. This is sooooooooo good! Thank you for the perfect combination of humour, angst, romance and espionage all rolled into one.

 whoopie! u've updated :) thanks thanks!can't wait for the showdown !

Great chapter. Looks like someone is in BIG Trouble. Wonder what kind of hexes Mione has up her sleeve.

Oh My GOD! This is how Hermione learns she's with child? And Harry learns about the secret relationship between H&S?  The next chap is going to be a very interesting one!

Hermione may or may not have picked up on the pregnant part - when she does - Severus is in deep doo as they say. If she did, the confirmation should come next chapter and I cannot wait for a ring side seat :-)

Holy Shite! What a way to find out she's expecting.  Although the little hints along the way did kind of allude to it.  Wonder how Hermione's ever going to get Harry to trust her?  And Severus! I feel so bad for him knowing what he's got coming to him.  He'd better hope Hermione is feeling merciful.  Can't wait to see what happens next!

Harry was surprisingly perspicacious and I suspect was playing his part well while the death eaters were present, he seems to have "got it" to some extent.  Severus had better do some quick talking , he has more to fear from Hermione then Harry at the moment!

Wow. This is rude of you to stop there but I'm to know that Harry is more mature and will listen to Severus before hexing for once. Now I will count days before the next update.

Excellent chapter.  You've got to feel a little sorry for Severus................he is in so much trouble.

OMG! Severus definitely played his part. Hermione is going to KILL him. I hope Potter calms down enough to see what actually happened there. I'm keeping my fingers crossed. Poor Hermione. What a horrible way to find out that you are pregnant.I need more! I can't seem to wait for the next update!

Oi, Severus is going to get it!

But it seems like Harry may have already suspected who "Sebastien" was. At least that was the impression I got from his comments about whether Sebastien's glamour aged him up or down, and then how he followed right into discussing how he saw Snape at a young age giving those original vows.

you couln't have thought of a more unceremonious, bitter, knock-over-the-head way to break the news to Hermione.

you are so brutally frank.

but that's the way it is, when being married to a Death Eater.

sends shivers down my spine.....

yes, you have been a long time. but since I see the result, I don't wonder any longer about the WHY.

Go ahead. you are brilliant.

I think I have a more clear idea of what could be these potions and the spell and the fact that Hermione is nauseus and prefers "light breakfast". But absolutely no clue about the rage. Will wait very impatiently for the next.

Interesting chapter - cannot wait to see when she figures out she is pregnant and when she finds out the Severus made her so purposely. The fur is going to fly and I cannot wait.

oooh looking forward to that!  Lovely update!

Great story. Can't wait to see what happens next.

Excellent transitional chapter! Looking forward to explanations of your cryptic clues

Those potions of his must be something nasty for him to just forgive her at the drop of a hat, dear. 

Until we find out I'll just be sitting here squirming in my chair with anticipation!  I'm so glad I got hooked on your tale. 

Keep up the great work!

Severus is an absolutely wonderful manipulator. I wish he would give lessons. I'd love to be able to do that, particularly to the DH.

I believe i've been remiss in reviewing this story. I 've enjoyed reading it very much. Mostly because of confident, capable Granger. She may be young but (like the only part in DH that i liked) she handles everything.

Two points though;

firstly i think the wizard doth protests too much. Either that's just Snapes insecure self or a show for the Dork Lord. I at least hope it isn't a forshadowing of things to come... "woman you Are Mine" is Not what i would like to hear or read.

second i truly hope there is not a real baby on the way. Women have the capability to get children roughly speaking from 15 till 45. What's the hurry? Especially if you count witchess longlivety. McGonagall as we first meet her in PS has black hair and should about be leaving that phase. I still don't understand the wizarding worlds obsession with young motherhood (Lily, Narcissa and Molly) excepting maybe JKR's bad math skills....

I suspect things are moving on. And I still can't help but notice that Hermione is nauseus or has stomach ache more than once in here. I seem to recall that Voldy ordered Severus he makes her a baby. IT seems He will be pleased after all.

Angry Severus was fab.................I love it when he seethes.

Brilliant as always.
